Restore Your Natural Beauty and Oral Function with Dental Implants
Bridges and dentures aren’t the only options for replacing missing teeth in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dental implants from Family Dental Choice present a dependable, natural-looking solution for teeth replacement if you are missing one or multiple teeth. Whether you have lost teeth to injury, decay, or disease, schedule an appointment with Dr. Philip Hahn for dental implants — the gold standard of teeth replacement.
How dental implants replace missing teeth?
While dental implants come in many shapes and sizes, endosteal implants are the most common. These dental implants use a three-piece system to replicate the natural tooth.Â
A titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root is buried in the jawbone. Above the implant sits an abutment that protrudes through the gum line to link with the final restoration, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture.Â
Dental implants are the only tooth replacements that replace the visible crown alongside its root. Because of this unique design, dental implants remain stable when talking, eating, or smiling. After the dental implant treatment, no more embarrassment of slippage, rocking, or falling out! Like natural teeth, dental implants remain solidly in place when using your teeth.
The process of replacing your teeth with implants
Your implant journey starts with an initial examination to establish your oral and overall health condition. The dentist also examines your jawbone to ensure it has enough volume and density to support an implant.
If you are an eligible candidate for implant dentistry, we’ll refer you to one of the best oral surgeons for implant placement. After numbing your gums for maximum comfort, the oral surgeon will surgically insert a titanium post at a precise location in the jawbone. Then, the implant will be left for three to six months to integrate with the bone through osseointegration.
After healing, the oral surgeon will attach an abutment to the implant post to link with the dental prosthetic. After this procedure, Dr. Hahn will restore your implant with a natural-looking crown. Your completed dental implant will feel and look natural that you’ll forget you ever had tooth loss!

Dental implants stop bone loss and more
After you lose your tooth, your root is no longer present. While this may not bother you, its absence can cause adverse effects. The tooth root continuously stimulates the jawbone when chewing and grinding, promoting bone regeneration. When you miss the root, your jawbone resorbs, causing bone deterioration and facial collapse.
Luckily, you can prevent this with dental implants. Like natural teeth, dental implants stimulate the jawbone, promoting bone growth.
The other benefits of dental implants include the following:
- Restore your oral function to near-perfect
- Low maintenance
- Can last for life
- Prevents nearby teeth from tilting
- Remarkable success rate
- Natural feel and appearance
- Flexibility to replace one or several teeth anywhere in the mouth
- Restored confidence
